PROTECTION OR REDUCTION.

The manufacturers have thus far re-
fused to listen 10 any sugge 'tions for a
reduction Of the war rates Of import du-
ties. Between the positive position Of that
interest determined on arbitrary protec-
ton and the timid position of the poll
ticians, the Democratic party is In dan
ger Of another "straddlc' or see-saw
plank in the national platform.
During one month upon $j.'3G,3l9 OF
dutlable goods taken from bounded ware
houses in New York duty Of S3,jsGeOO,
or an average Of 90: per cent. was col
lected. For the fiscal year ending June
Both. 1900, 9s,ji7 in dutiable value of
foreign goods were thrown upon the
market, on which $145,9Gs ,6Ss47 were
collected IN customs. This is upward Of
A.. per cent on the entire total, includ.
ing all the goods that are charged little
more than 3 nominal rate
As we have said the expenses Of the
Government do not require all this
money and there is no excuse for the
levy
The abolition Of the excise taxes would
nearly cover the demand for doing away
with the surplus, but the politicians want
the tea thousand revenue service offices
for their henchmen, and a mass of tenn
perance people entertain the idea that
high tax on whisky will operate in favor
of their doctrines, though it is well
known that a drunkard will absorb as
much 1T ten cents a drink as at five, If he
has to pawn his hat and coat. Ofthe plans
for spending the surplus instead Of not
levying II there are various cranky
schemes, such as putting hundred mil
lions year in sea coast defenses, diyid-
ing 1t among the several States, making a
navy, and substituting the mail service.
But we must come at last TO the justice
Of the thing, and that is to levy just
enough taxes on the right articles, and
reduce them when there is collected
more money than aproper administration
of the Government demands.

The collisions between the monster
British ships, Devastation and Ajax, and
the Agincourt and Black Prince have
drawn some very interesting criticisms
from prominent sources from which itap-

war that have not turned out TO be worth
the money.

Our reinoteness has been great clog upon the develop ment of all this section of Arizona. and besides this the freight rates, both over the Southern Pacific and the Atlantic interstate commerce bill will put a stop to this, unless the roads are willing to entirely abandon their through rates, the rates 10 interior points must be very much reduced A general movement toward the copper mines south of Pres cot, viii set m as soon as the railroad reaches us. which will be during the summer. Already large amount oi machinery has been contracted for, ard will be shipped and put up within month or two, and most ot 1t will be turned out, ready for refining and ship ing, as soon as the road raches us.
